Date Sold 7/5/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Only 38, the 1923 William C. de Mille silent romantic family relationship comedy ("From the play by A.E. Thomas"; "Suggested by a story by Walter Prichard Eaton"; about a woman who is widowed, and her 20 year-old male and female twin children are horrified when she has a makeover and gets a boyfriend, and they manage to break them up, but then they realize they are being selfish and their mother deserves happiness) starring May McAvoy, Lois Wilson, Elliott Dexter, George Fawcett, and Robert Agnew. Note that even though Lois Wilson was clearly the central character of the movie, May McAvoy was a bigger star, and she received top billing. Also, Paramount was not thrilled about the idea of making a movie about middle-aged romance, so they cheated quite a bit and had the mother (who was supposed to be 38) played by pretty Lois Wilson, who was only 28 when the movie was made, and her "20 year-old" twins were played by actors who were 24, so the mother was only 4 years older than her children! Finally, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). This slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: very good to fine. The slide is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
